This happen when you move your atak to a different location in game setting layout.

I notice when you run this mod "Enhanced Map Ace Version" and "Better CAS Environment (BCE) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2853828143 together it holds the map legend in a static view in the atak. Is there a way to fix this?

okay, thanks ^^
Hoplite  [author] 30 Jan @ 1:12pm 
I'm sorry for the waiting. I plan on doing a big update for this and for True Breaching, but it won't happen soon because i have more important stuff to deal with actually.

This mod is unlicensed, so anyone is free to fix it and improve on it.
Max Husky 30 Jan @ 10:32am 
will there be any update to make it work again, since I have this and enhanced GPS and it wont work.
ElPedroChicoRaulAlfonsoTejada 13 Oct, 2024 @ 2:31pm 
This could use an update for the new ACE version, additionally the mod doesn't play well with lighting, as in maps are still readable in the dark.

@Hoplite, Good Day!

Yes, it is strange... the mod does the same symptoms played with extraction (cdlc: western sahara) I like this mod badly because of how soothing to my eyes (looks like dark mode)
Hoplite  [author] 3 Sep, 2024 @ 8:02pm 
@Cursed, strange. That must have something to do with the DUWS mission. Can you give steps to reproduce ?

Note to people who use my mod : This mod is currently not updated, but I will start working on a brand new version in a few months, with fewer compatibility issues, and more functionalities.

Issue Report 9/3/24,
Add-On made by Hoplite,

-When opened in "DUWS_X 3.05 by Killa Tomata"
-Any terrain, Altis, Stratis, Takistan, Tanoa, and etc.

it delays all active mods/scripts enabled in gameplay, 15 mins into the game makes delaying all loading vanilla scripts (entering zeus, placing units/assets, loading arsenal, and etcetera.), and lastly, 30 mins into the game... all scripts by commanding, saving game, and option changes makes the game freezes or unstable. :steamsad: :steamfacepalm:

so therefore, -𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗢𝗗!- unless, it gets fixed. :steamhappy:

Hi there! Can you update for new Ace version?
Apophis 22 Feb, 2024 @ 11:59am 
Hi ! How can I set darker version for the in-game map ? Thanks!
zorro 28 Jan, 2024 @ 5:20am 
Do you know how I can delete the lines and markers when I get it?

amazing work man.

Enhanced Map Ace Version doesn't seem to work with Unsung Redux, works fine with Unsung Full Version. not sure why since Redux is just a slim down version of the Full version. tested with just CBA,ACE,Enhanced Map Ace Version, and both Unsung and Unsung Redux on Cam Lao Nam, o7 great mod just a bug i ran into

Is there any way to make the roads disappear when zoomed out far?

@author -So beautiful. Thank you so much for your invaluable work! Best regards !
TehF0cus 10 Nov, 2022 @ 10:02am 
When zoming in/out in certain scenarios, the texutres do not load in correctly and an entire quadrant is just blank.
Perhaps this can be improved in some way?
Hoplite  [author] 30 May, 2022 @ 10:57am 
@Dirty Pagan When fully zooming out in map view you may loose some FPS depending on the map. On altis it's 3 fps, it can be more on less optimized maps.
☠ Kibbe_Surdo ☠ 29 May, 2022 @ 8:37pm 
hello, does it affect performance in any way ?
Hoplite  [author] 23 May, 2022 @ 1:58pm 
Adjustable sliders should come in the next version. Although with the publication of Arma Reforger and Enfusion I might stop modding on Arma 3 and start preparing better and more well rounded stuff for Arma 4.
ElPedroChicoRaulAlfonsoTejada 22 May, 2022 @ 3:20pm 
Maybe an adjustable slider for how visible the contour lines are then?

Or a color picker, something like that. Customizable
Hoplite  [author] 21 May, 2022 @ 6:01am 
I tried but if you make them more visible the whole map becomes a mess. I couldn't strike a better balance than this.
ElPedroChicoRaulAlfonsoTejada 20 May, 2022 @ 3:34pm 
Would it be possible to make contour lines more visible?
Hoplite  [author] 7 Apr, 2022 @ 2:25pm 
Also, the settings of your screen, the saturation setting of your game and some settings in Ace may affect the way the map looks for you.
Hoplite  [author] 7 Apr, 2022 @ 2:17pm 
@ᗷᑌᒪᗩᗰᗩTᗩRI Well good for you. I assure you that the visuals are inspired by topographic maps that I personnally own, IGN maps and other maps you can find on internet so they're 100% real. But I won't blame you for disliking them, all the maps are not pretty indeed.

Note that in future versions I intend to make it customizable so you will be able to tune the map at your likings.
ᗷᑌᒪᗩᗰᗩTᗩRI 1 Apr, 2022 @ 10:42am 
I have tried it and I hated it after a while. This oversaturated, screaming neon green gives me eye cancer. No real map looks like that. It disturbs my immersion because it doesn't remind me of a real map in the slightest. It looks more like the digital maps of today's nav or GPS systems, which I loathe as well (as a pilot I have had and still have to use real maps quite often in my life).

It was almost a relief to go back to the vanilla map. A map created by proven military simulation experts couldn't be that wrong. And it ain't indeed. I like its puristic approach much better.
Hoplite  [author] 23 Feb, 2022 @ 11:21am 
@Marccanen Oh, sorry. Currently, the only way to do that is to follow these steps :

- go into the mod folder >> addons.
- Unpack DIS_enhanced_map_ace.pbo (using a software like pbo manager)
- Open config.cpp
- Find class RscMapControl
- Find the line : maxSatelliteAlpha = 1;
- Replace it by : maxSatelliteAlpha = 0;
- Do any other change you want
- Save and Repack the .pbo
Marccanen 22 Feb, 2022 @ 5:11am 
It's been a while - but Hoplite, any clues on how to get rid of the satellite map altogether?
Marccanen 2 Sep, 2021 @ 6:07am 
Exactly!
Hoplite  [author] 1 Sep, 2021 @ 11:35am 
@Marccanen What you want is to have only the topographic map, am I right ? You want to get rid of the satelite map ?
Marccanen 1 Sep, 2021 @ 5:35am 
Hey, great mod.

Is there a way to disable the satmap view it gives per default, the vanilla-like, which actually isn't available in ace at all? I like the mode that turns on when you press the "change map texture" on top-right when using this mod, and I'd like only that to be available.
Cryptic 30 Jun, 2021 @ 5:04pm 
mark ace as required
nigel 9 Jun, 2021 @ 11:27am 
@TheBlackFox Close the map
Hoplite  [author] 3 Jun, 2021 @ 2:19pm 
@TheBlackFox This has already been answered, read the comments please.
TheBlackFox 23 May, 2021 @ 1:10pm 
When I open the map with the mod installed it becomes very laggy. Is there any way to fix this?
Hoplite  [author] 10 May, 2021 @ 7:02am 
@MiamToxx Il y a effectivement une baisse de FPS quand on est au niveau de zoom où on voit la map toute entière et aussi toutes les routes affichées. Cependant cette baisse de FPS est déjà présente en Vanilla, donc tweaker le mod ne changera quasiment rien. On peut s'attendre à un gain de 2 ou 3 FPS grand max, uniquement à ce niveau de zoom particulier.

Cependant si tu veux le faire, voilà la marche à suivre :
- Aller dans le dossier du mod puis dans le dossier >> Addons
- Décompresser DIS_enhanced_map_ace.pbo
- Ouvrir config.cpp avec un logiciel de ttt de texte comme notepad++.
- trouver toutes les lignes où il est indiqué ptsPerSquareRoadSimple = 1; et les remplacer par une valeur plus élevée.
- Comme par exemple ptsPerSquareRoadSimple = 5.5;
- Sauvegarder, et recompresser le fichier du mod en .pbo.
MiamToxx |HG 8 May, 2021 @ 12:18pm 
Salut, après vérification effectivement soucis serveur. J'ai lu qu'il y a un problème connu de chute de FPS quand on Zoom sur la map, il y a t'il moyen de fixé le soucis coté client ? Merci
Hoplite  [author] 3 May, 2021 @ 12:50pm 
@CrzyRandomGuy

To Tweak the mod files :
- go into the mod folder >> addons.
- Unpack DIS_enhanced_map_ace.pbo
- Open config.cpp
- Find class CfgLocationTypes
- Find the class corresponding to what you want to tweak.
- Change the color value to your liking, (format {R,G,B,A} in percentages) or delete it to restore default settings.
- Do any other change you want
- Save and Repack the .pbo
YzrC 3 May, 2021 @ 10:58am 
How do you change the color of the labels? its sometimes hard to see town names etc
Hoplite  [author] 3 May, 2021 @ 4:03am 
@MiamToxx Je vais vérifier, on utilise RR Immersive Maps sur notre serveur et on n'a pas eu ce problème à ma connaissance.
'mante 2 May, 2021 @ 5:02pm 
Had to force update the mod to get the new key but it now everything works, thanks!
MiamToxx |HG 2 May, 2021 @ 3:36pm 
Super mod !
J'ai cependant trouvé un bug entre "RR Immersives Maps" et "Enhanced Map ACE". La map n'apparaît plus entre les mains du joueur. Une idée ?
Val 2 May, 2021 @ 3:23pm 
Cheers @Hoplite, that key is working : )
Hoplite  [author] 2 May, 2021 @ 12:34pm 
Updated, tell me if the key is OK now ?
'mante 2 May, 2021 @ 7:10am 
Key provided doesn't work man
Hoplite  [author] 2 May, 2021 @ 5:01am 
Performances at those zoom level are low, even in vanilla. But you usually you don't notice it because map is zoomed in by default, and there is such a lack of details when dezooming that you don't spend time looking at the map at those demanding zoom levels.

So the first issue is that Arma 3 engine can't even display properly a 2D map without struggling.
The second issue may be your config is severely outdated, or your 3den mission is overloaded with units, waypoints and such.
The third issue can be an other mod.
Hoplite  [author] 2 May, 2021 @ 5:01am 
@Alceste_Durden This is not normal, but it can be due to several factors.
I've spent a long time tweaking this mod so it impacts FPS the least possible, but this mod can cause a slight drop in fps indeed. 2 to 3 fps max in the worst scenariis.
This drop occurs at some zoom levels, due to the amount of details displayed : when you see the entire map and also forests and roads.
At those zoom levels, in Vanilla I get 25 fps. With my mod I get 23 fps. I'm on a 2014 old laptop with 2.26 GHz 4core GPU and 3GB Vram.
That's not exactly a good config, so the fps drop you encounter should not be higher than 2-3 fps at worst, compare to Vanilla, on the most demanding zoom levels.
Alceste_Durden 1 May, 2021 @ 2:03am 
when i m on the eden editor , my fps fall at 5 when i m on the map ?!
